cannabis is my all in one daily prescription drug. it works like a charm. my only side affects have been sleeping the best of my entire life, making even horrible foods taste incredible, turning music into a religious experience, and laughing all day? long for no other reason than not being able to believe how awesome life is.
Im on 11 prescription drugs……. 6? or 7 of them keep me alive.
That’s because it makes you violent and calm at the same time apparently, it also causes you to go on psychotic? rampages whilst on the couch asleep. But let’s not forget the biggest side effect of them all, RED EYES, oh no!
natural is necessarily safer than the chemical alternative. For example lsd is safer than shrooms and the chemically created? version of aspirin is safer than the natural counterpart.
I never take my prescriptions =[. I find a more healthy herb and? plant medicine where it comes from nature not labs o.o. I support weed =].
Weed is a prescription? drug…
Weed wouldn’t be illegal if the drug companies? could patent it.
i am? not
that is a scarry thought?
The labor class is the hardest working and most in need of medical attention yet do not have the means for the proper medical care. This is why they are more likely to use illegal drugs to fill this very real need not being met. For wanting to free themselves from pain caused by hard physical labor they are exploited by both corporations and government.
Meanwhile? those making the laws are over medicating themselves with drugs the don’t need for symptoms they don’t have.
I think what they are getting at is that people use these drugs when they are not needed. Everybody gets depressed sometimes, and the vast majority of the time you can deal with it on your own or with support from family and friends – drugs are not needed. There is a risk with taking any drug (especially anti-depressants), so they should only be used if necessary. For too many people their first answer is to take drugs, even if they? can resolve the problem in a safer way.
Vanessa needs to slow the fuck down when she? talks
When the economic collapse? comes and people won’t be able to get these drugs… watch out.
If you add the OTC market… EVERYBODY is on something?
I’m really disappointed in you for this video concerning the anti-depressant part. You guys were flippantly disrespectful concerning people who have a serious fucking problem. This is the reason why people, if they are on pills for depression, have to be quiet about it and their depression, because they’ll get harassed? by assholes telling them “Be a fucking man you pussy.” or, “(insert whatever women tell each other to demean each other about something related to their gender)”
